To some Villa fans an average Brighton centre midfielder is the only defensive midfielder in the world and he isnt even a defensive midfielder. Same way Philip Billing would guarantee our safety in summer 2020 I do actually think Bissouma is really good, but VT's record for falling in love with big central midfielders isn't great. Both Billing and Sander Berge are both at Championship clubs; Billing at least is playing every game, and mostly playing well in a promotion-chasing side, but Berge has played barely half of Sheff Utd's games and has come off the bench nearly as often as he's started. Wasn't it only 12 months ago that people were saying we absolutely had to sign him when they went down? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got 3 wins in a row mainly down to his free kicks. Prob only need a couple more wins given the teams below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Another injury to ASM. West Ham should show how easy it is to beat these. Hopefully they go on another losing run now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 They've won their 2 games and pulled a little bit clear, away game, I doubt they'll be as up for this as they have been vs Everton and us That's what life is down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Actually think Newcastle are still in a fair bit of danger. Injuries to ASM and Trippier and 11 looks mediocre again seeing as Guimaraes isn't trusted to start yet. Still got aways at Chelsea, Spurs and Man. City and would be surprised if they got anything today so it will come down to their home form mainly. Made a very good start with the wins v us and Everton but need to keep winning at home. Brighton, Palace and Wolves next three so possible..... Not sure when they play Everton again but loser of that will probably be fighting relegation right to the end as I still think at some stage Burnley will pull an 8 point out of 4 game run like we did in 19/20 so they'd be in range to catch whoever is 17th at that point.

Sadly I think they'll be fine. They're already 4 points clear and I just can't see the current bottom 3 being able to overhaul them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm angrier about them picking up the points than I am about us dropping them, if they stay up by 3 points or less I'll be so disappointed with us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 They will comfortably survive. They have been playing well the last few matches, nowhere close to relegation form. When was Joelinton converted to a MF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 They might get 4 points here from two of the crummiest goals you'll ever see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 See Staveley bought Newcastle for no money at all. I could have done that. Same as Hicks and Gillette did with Liverpool, borrow the whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
